Happy Monday,


How do you cope with heavy wind on gravel roads?


Yesterday I did a tar ride around the free state and the wind was seriously hectic and I was blown across the road a couple of times, which got me to pondering, if I was on gravel, would the bike not slip and in effect get blown out from under you?  My thinking is that there is more tyre grip on the tar compared to gravel?


There were times I could not see the road from the dust storm.
